19It's better to live in a desert than with an argumentative and bad-tempered wife.
20The wise hold on to their wealth and olive oil, but stupid people use up everything they have.
21If you pursue goodness and trustworthy love, you'll find life, prosperity, and honor.
22The wise can overcome a city belonging to strong warriors, and tear down the fortress they trusted to protect them.
23If you watch what you say, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
24A proud, conceited, mocker—that's the name of those who act with insolent arrogance.
25Slackers die hungry because they refuse to work.
26Some people only want more and more all the time, but the good give generously.
27The sacrifices given by the wicked are obnoxious, worse still when they're offered with evil motives.
